So! This Spooky is younger than Flyboy! And the Department of Extraordinary Security is on the way! Why would those things bother Mitch? Is it important that Mitch is still in the same graveyard that he left the adult Spooky in? And what should he do next?

Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

Patreon Rumbles

Hello Campers,
How does Mitch convince Spooky that he’s from three years in the future?

Snarky answer: He doesn’t. He tries to, but Spooky is not won over. However, Spooky pretends that he is, in order to give Flyboy “Rope enough to hang himself.”

That’s Interesting

I probably said it before: Somebody should say “Ohhhhhhhh Boy!”

Like Sam in Quantum Leap? 🙂

LOL! Yes!

Voting links for The Young Protectors and Artifice!

Thank you, b3nc0!

FLYBOY yells at JUNIOR WOODCHUCK SPOOKY: Get the hell off of my lawn! Damn kids!

I keep expecting a Sandman from LOGAN’S RUN to pop up.

Ah, Logan’s Run. I saw that as a kid (yes, it left a mark), but for years I thought it was called “TBD” because that’s how it was listed in the TV Guide!

(Extra points for anyone who remembers what the TV Guide is…)

To Be Determined? I remember we used to get a tv guide all the time. And then we moved and only got 5-6 watchable channels for awhile. So a guilde was relatively pointless. With so few channels you could memorize what was on when.

Though the paper here puts a weekly guild in the Sunday paper.

So, Spooky isn’t going to comment on how Flyboy is dressed or how he was flying? When their conversation starts, Flyboy is still hovering, yet Spooky’s comment is about his facial expression? I mean, sure, he deals with superheroes and super villains all the time, but he doesn’t even pause to ask, at least, what team he’s with?

Not Spooky’s style to make a deal about such things.

But if you read ahead a few pages… 🙂

He did survive hell after all.

I’m starting to wonder, if the reason that Spooky can’t remember the case about the church, is because he erased his own mind, because if this isn’t a new alternate past/future happening, then Spooky would know Mitch, even before he meet him in the future.
…. Unless he actually *did* just that, but never told anyone.

Oy.. time travelling is complicated xD

It’s a very good question, Danish.

Alex, when are you going to pitch this to Spielberg or a reasonable facsimile? Totally needs to be a live-action movie or, better yet, a Netflix series. If any of that happens, *retain creative control*! Wish I had connections…

From your lips to God’s (or Spielberg’s) ears, Jay.

I’m really glad you’re enjoying the story!

Hmm… Surely there’s a rabbi in L.A. with a website who knows what prayer, Torah verse or psalm one says to make a movie happen. I’ll get on that. 😉

ROTFLMAO! Wish I had thought of that!

So… Will we recognize anyone on the rec team?

Hmm. A good question. We’ve seen so few of the adult superheroes. There was a mugshot of the newly formed superteams from when they were first introduced to the press in 1974, in the text piece story at the start of YP vol.1 trade paperback. We might see some people in the team costumes, but the individuals have probably retired from active duty by now.

However, closer to this time period there were the characters from the ‘Choices’ text story – PowerFist (of the North Coast Defenders) and Agent Hastings – and that was set when Spooky was 15-and-a-half. So within the past half year, from Spooky’s point of view.

Meanwhile the Origin Card for Hunter and Killer indicates that they worked for 8 years on the Southwest Extraordinary Tactics Team before being sidelined for ‘reckless insubordination’. The card doesn’t say how long ago that was. While it might be amusing to see them get a call-back (call-forward?) from their first appearance of attacking Red Hot and Annihilator on their dinner date – and already be showing some of the mental instability that prompted them to go rogue as indie heroes – that might put them a bit far from their geographical stomping grounds.

Ooh! Ooh! I know! One to freak out Flyboy. He’s already having to deal with the risk of time paradox from meeting with Spooky. What if the team about to arrive has members of Flyboy’s old team, the Connecticut Cavaliers. You remember, the team that he got kicked off of (will be kicked off of…) because he kept going off at night and doing extramural superheroing.

Thank you for this meticulous theory. I didn’t really expect an answer, so it’s nice you gave such an extended one, informing me about things I didn’t know or even heard of. Very much appreciated.

Amanda knew Spooky from age 13, so she might come around. The other of the YP didn’t happen until later.

Wait.. will Mitch maybe be able to change some major events now? Like Sircea’s masterplan with Duncan.

But, but we always learn you can’t change history

Not without big consequences. Another reason for Spooky to have had erased some of his own memories (if that happens).

Another good question!

Good question!

Well, now we know why Spooky in the present cannot remember what happened here in the past. Mitch must of had to tell him about the future and how he got to the past. To preserve the timeline, Spooky had to cast a spell on himself to forget (or temporarily block it).

It is even possible his past self will leave a weapon or something right where he will be attacked in the future to save himself. His memory, if just blocked, probably will automatically unblock when he sees Mitch disappear through the portal.

Time travel, it’s a cornucopia of disturbing and confusing concepts.

Haha, I should have read the other comments, before making my own. I made the same speculation.

Some very good speculation there, TheMan!

Mitch and his hearing. 💛💛💛

He is hearing things – fortunately!

Yep. Owl hearing!
